Servers & Workstations • Re: Health check on ReFS and protection from ransomware - macrium image guardian?

ReFS deployed on Storage Spaces, which is what it was originally designed to operate on, is indeed self-healing.

On simple volumes, Microsoft specifically recommends that redundancy is achieved by external means e.g. Backup Copy jobs in case of Veeam.

Granted, we were using RAID-60 instead of Storage Spaces. The root cause to ReFS crashing was a bad backplane in the drive cage, which was a "hard" problem. I doubt Storage Spaces would have been able to recover from that, point being I would be careful calling something "self-healing" when there are so many factors that influence the outcome.
